How many owners can afford a two million dollar yearling? How many trainers could get by with ..oh lets see...no horses in their barn??? You would put hundreds of thousands of folks out of work, condemn tens of thousands of horses to slaughter...why? Because you don't like claiming races??? Here's an alternative...don't watch and/or bet them!!!

Like I said, I wanted to play Pro Football, never going to happen, too slow, way too slow...Does that mean it's my only line of work and I could do nothing else?

I saw that the other day, that is hilarious...I love when he's laying the beatdown on that guy and then goes "Hi Janice", like nothing happened, that is too funny...

On a sidenote, I saw you are going to Keeneland for that contest, my wife usually goes shopping in Lexington with her mom that weekend, instead of me sitting around watching bad SEC Basketball games, I may give that contest a go..
